An other interesting user land app would be to use a cpu _and_ memory
cruncher, because of caches misses we'll get.

$ cat nloop.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>

#define SZ 4*1024*1024

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int nproc = 8;
	char *buffer;

	if (argc > 1)
		nproc = atoi(argv[1]);
	while (nproc > 1) {
		if (fork() == 0)
			break;
		nproc--;
	}
	buffer = malloc(SZ);
	while (1)
		memset(buffer, 0x55, SZ);
}

$ ./nloop 8 &

Maximum overhead is 7191-4861 = 23.3 us per packet
